Huber Heights Tax Rates
Tax rates in Huber Heights depend on your school district and other levies. The Huber Heights City School District levy makes up a large chunk of most bills. Fire, police, library, and park levies add to the total. Rates are measured in mills. One mill equals one dollar per thousand dollars of assessed value. Ohio law sets the assessed value at 35% of market value, so a home worth $200,000 has an assessed value of $70,000.

Reappraisals happen every six years under ORC Chapter 5713. A triennial update comes at the three-year mark. Both can shift your assessed value. House Bill 920 creates reduction factors on existing levies when values rise. That keeps your bill from jumping in step with the value increase. New levies passed after the reappraisal are not covered by the rollback. Under ORC Chapter 5705, all levy rates go through a state certification process.
Paying Huber Heights Property Taxes
The Montgomery County Treasurer handles all property tax payments for Huber Heights. Bills go out in December. The first half is due in late January or February. The second half is due in June or July. You can pay online, by mail, or in person at the treasurer's office in downtown Dayton.
Late payments result in penalties and interest. Ohio law adds charges to overdue taxes right away. If payments stay unpaid, the county can place a tax lien on the property. The treasurer posts a delinquent list each year. Contact them early if you are struggling to pay. Some payment plans exist for qualifying property owners.
Note: Huber Heights has a separate city income tax that is collected by the city, not through the property tax system.
Huber Heights Tax Exemptions
Several tax relief programs are open to Huber Heights homeowners. The homestead exemption helps seniors 65 and over and those with permanent disabilities. It removes up to $25,000 of market value from your tax bill. Disabled veterans with a 100% service-connected rating can exempt up to $50,000. You apply through the Montgomery County Auditor.
The owner-occupied credit gives a 2.5% reduction if you live in the home. The non-business credit provides a 10% rollback for residential property not used for business. Both credits are applied automatically once the auditor has your occupancy on file. Montgomery County also participates in the CAUV program for qualifying agricultural land, though that is more common in the rural parts of the county than in Huber Heights itself.

The board includes the county auditor, treasurer, and a commissioner. Hearings run from April through June. If you disagree with the outcome, you can appeal to the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals under ORC Chapter 5715. You can only file on the same parcel once every three years.
